The point brought out by Mr. Bissell before the village board is a good one —The T. A. Gillespie Co. ought not to be released from its bond so long as there is any chance to make thepi re¬ move the sections of houses left stand- i ing along their line. j
It is well worth one's time to visit [ the sign painting shop of C. H. Lush, ] on West Merrick Road.
